Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Tucupita Marcano is not in the lineup versus left-hander Martin Perez and the Texas Rangers in Wednesday afternoon's series finale.
The Pirates are holding the left-handed hitting Marcano out against the Rangers' southpaw, but he could pitch in off the bench once Perez is pulled. Chris Owings will cover shortstop Wednesday and bat ninth.
numberFire’s models project Owings ($2,000) for 7.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates' implied total is 4.35 and the game total is 9.0. Perez has a 4.99 xERA this season, with a 17.5% strikeout rate and 6.5% walk rate.
